Sleeping well at night is a saying related to having a “clear conscience”. But I wonder could we say that a clean conscience is literally a matter of life and death?

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

In the case of a Will, it’s necessary to prove the death of the one who made it, because a Will is in force only when somebody has died i.e. it never takes effect while the one who made it is living. [v16-17] In this same way, Jesus died and left behind a Will. This is why even the first covenant (the old agreement) could not be put into effect without blood sacrifices. [v18] The “will of God” come into effect when someone or something died.

However, this old system is an illustration for us, in the present time, indicating that the gifts and sacrifices being offered were not able to clear the conscience of the worshiper. [v9] However, through the Creator’s Eternal Spirit, Jesus offered Himself unblemished to God, cleansing our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we can stand before our Maker. [v14] LIFE with a clean conscience is “the will of God” that He left behind in writing for us to have and to hold.

Every day I’ll praise You, Lord. I’ll extol Your name for ever and ever. Great are You and most worthy of praise! Your greatness no one can fathom! [Psalm 145:2-3]

Your Nation: Your county/state leaders

Yourself: Needs of your personal friends

Your concerns for today

You, who did not spare Your own Son, Father God, but gave Him up for us all, how now will You – along with Him – not also graciously give us all things? [Romans 8:32]

3. Admit: “…Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us…”

You’ll again have compassion on me, Lord. You’ll tread my sins underfoot and hurl all my iniquities into the depths of the sea! [Micah 7:19]

4. Protect: “…Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from the evil one…”

Thank-you, Lord my God, for Your incredibly promises: I’ll go out in joy, and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before me, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands! [Isaiah 55:12]

“ For Yours Lord is the Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory for ever and ever. Amen”
